Retirement income – on your terms

Fixed-term annuities offer the best of both worlds – a steady income during retirement, and the chance to review your finances once the term of the contract is complete. If you’re looking for reliable funding, but don’t want to commit to a lifetime annuity, it’s definitely an option to consider.

What is a fixed-term annuity?

A fixed-term annuity works in much the same way as any other annuity product. It provides you with an income during your retirement, and is paid for using funds from your pension pot. However, fixed-term annuities only last for a set number of years – this usually between three and 20. At the end of the term, you’ll receive a maturity amount, which can be invested into other pension products.

At our initial consultation, we’ll go through all the details of a fixed-term annuity with you, then help you to identify a product that best matches your needs. It’s important to note that, as with any annuity, once you’ve signed the contract, you won’t be able to cancel it. However, if you choose a shorter-term plan, the commitment will only last a few years.

FAQs

What is the benefit of investing in a fixed-term annuity?

The main advantage is that you’re not locked into it for a lifetime. If (once the term is complete) you decide you want to invest your pension funds elsewhere, you’re free to do so.

Are there any risks involved?

As with any financial product, there are some risks associated with fixed-term annuities. For example, if annuity rates fall during the term of your contract, you may receive a reduced maturity amount, which might not be enough to give you the level of income you require. We’ll talk you through the risks, to ensure you understand all the details.

How much income will I get?

You can choose the level of income you receive. However, if you select a higher income, your maturity amount will decrease accordingly.

As such, it’s important to weigh up what’s more important to you – a more generous monthly pay-out, or a larger lump sum at the end.
